Just to transition away from a heavy Google news day, we’ve also got a review of Microsoft’s new search engine, Bing, which was launched about a month ago, and how it compares to Google. David Pogue seems to be quite smitten, but the numbers aren’t in Microsoft’s favor. Since launch, Bing has been hovering at around 3% market share, while Google is still at around 89% (source: StatCounter). But just because it’s the little guy doesn’t mean it’s not great.

I’ve played around with it a bit, watching its video tutorials (probably the weakest part of the launch, actually), and searching, you know, for things. I have to admit, it’s pretty cool. I’ll write more after more testing, and figuring out how it’s going to shake up the online marketing world. But in the meantime, here’s something that can’t be ignored: Bing has overtaken Yahoo! and holds more of the market than MSN and Windows Live did, combined. Pretty impressive.
